Episode 179: "ChoiceNControl" for the Human Animal - a podcast by Natural Encounters, Inc.

Ari and Chris chat about our field's favorite term that's not actually a word - Choice and Control! They discuss what they are, how they're related, and what they mean for animal care before digging into what they mean when applied to the humans that work on our teams. So many great things to dig into here - learned helplessness, the illusion of choice, the problem with "over-democratizing decisions," and communicating expectations are just some of the many fun things we touch on - turns out being a person on planet Earth with other people is a lot, ya'll!
